Letters Patent N 0. 107.596, dated September 20, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT m Devices son cont nent!) mmssme nun The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Toall whom it may concern Be it known that I, PAIlL. CEREDO, of the city of Dusseldorf, in the Province of Rhine, in the Kingdom of Prussia, have invented new and useful Improvements on Device for Curling and Dressing Hair; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full,

clear, and-exact description of the construction and It maybehere well'to remark that the ordinary way ofcnrling hair is by pieces of paper, formed. in the shape of pins,'aronnd which the hair is wound. These are at once'untidy, and disfigure the head of the user, and, also, being irregular in shape, do not give a' uniform and graceful bend or finish to the hair equal to that of the'pins of the present invention, which, being made of tine fabric, and the ends finished with embroidery in silk, give an ornamental finish to the head of the user.

In the drawing similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

Letter ais a piece of lead, wire. or other suitable substance, of length the pins are intended to be made, around' which a fine and suitable quality of hemp, or other analogous substance is wound, increasing the bnli: or diameter in the center, and grad.- nally diminishing to the ends, giving the form of a double-ended cone, or other desired shape,

-By using a littlecare in winding-the-hemp around the wire a, a true and regular figure is given, and over this, cover 0 is placed, cut to the exact shape toforin an envelope, the edges of which are neatly stitched, or otherwise suitably secured, as found most desirable:

The ends- 11 maybe made, any desired shape, and

- embroidered with fancy work.

After,the hair has been woundaround the pin, its ends may be twisted together, as shown in fig. 3, orin any other suitable or desirable manner. 1

Having now described my invention, and the manner. in which the same-reused,

\Vhat I claim as my invention is-- The combination of the wire a, withhemp a wound around it, giving any desired form, and with asuitable cover or envelope, 0, with or withoutembroidered ends (1, all working together' substantially ilrthe manner and for the purpose described.

PAUL GEREDO.
